S. MATTHIÆ, APOSTOLI: Ad Officium lectionis




O Matthias, by a wondrous plan, you were appointed by God to the most holy band of the Apostles. The horrid disciple had departed by a sad hanging, denying the place of high honor and the love of Christ. Behold the love of Christ brings you to his glory, moved by the Holy Spirit in the words of Peter and the casting of lots. Commanded to such a great vocation, you reveal the light to the gentiles even to death, powerfully giving witness to Jesus by your blood. Grant to us, O blessed Apostle, with glad and prompt hearts, that we may follow whatever way the gracious Spirit shoes us. Glory to the Trinity, that through you  God may grant us to scale heavenly heights and sing eternal hymns. Amen.
